The latest Grow a Garden Cooking Update in your favorite game is bringing more flavor to the table—literally. Alongside new gardening features, the second part of this update introduces a special companion that’s perfect for cooking enthusiasts: the Gorilla Chef. This legendary pet not only adds charm to your garden but also boosts your culinary production in a big way.
Gorilla Chef Abilities Guide
The Gorilla Chef is a legendary pet unlocked through a quest during the second part of the Grow a Garden Cooking Update. Designed to look like a real gorilla wearing a chef’s hat and holding a cooking stick, this pet is more than just cosmetic—it’s built for kitchen efficiency. It comes with two unique traits:
- Helping Hands – When crafting, there’s a chance that materials won’t be consumed. This means you can save resources over time.
- King Cook – If you have a Cooking Pot or Cooking Cauldron in your garden, the Gorilla Chef will cook in it and give a 5–10% chance to duplicate food when cooking.
With a hunger level of 55,000, this pet can keep working for a while before it needs feeding.
How to Get the Gorilla Chef
You can obtain the Gorilla Chef by completing a special quest tied to the second part of the Grow a Garden Cooking Update. At the time of its addition (August 9th, 2025), it was not available for direct purchase, so players will need to progress through the event’s challenges to claim it.
For players focused on cooking and crafting, the Gorilla Chef is a game-changer. Its resource-saving passive and bonus food duplication make it ideal for anyone looking to maximize production without constantly gathering extra ingredients. Plus, its unique design adds personality to your garden setup.
